Hi, Is it possible to easily invert the predefined color palettes? There are some great palettes predefined, but in my opinion they are defined backwards. For example, kCherry runs from black to white through red. This looks good for 3D renderings, but is confusing for 2D histograms rendered with t…

Now in place. Thanks for the suggestion.

That’s a matter of taste… There is no such functionality right now.

Wasn’t so hard once I figured out what was going on in TColor. Would this commit be appreciated as a pull request? A short demonstration: { gStyle->SetPalette(kCherry); TColor::InvertPalette(); TF2 *f = new TF2("xygaus", "xygaus", -2, 2, -2, 2); f->SetParameters(1,0,1,0,1); TH2D*…

Damned you are right ! :slight_smile: Done… thanks,
